Discover the grape variety: Isa
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, discreet profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections as a heritage variety of historical interest, its commercial diffusion has almost disappeared; studied for its genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white variety grown in tiny quantities.

The wine region of Bugey
AOC of Ain between Jura and Savoie, 60% sparkling. Cerdon as star: ancestral-method sparkling rosé Gamay + Poulsard, with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, grenadine, flowers and an English-candy touch, fine bubbles and lightly alcoholic palate — the festive springtime apéritif. Whites lively Chardonnay, taut Jacquère (white flowers, lemon), floral Roussette. Gamay, Pinot Noir reds, peppery Mondeuse.
The wine region of Savoie
French Alpine vineyard with unique native grapes. Signature Jacquère in whites (~50% of the vineyard): lively, light dry wines with white flowers, green apple, citrus, fresh almond and a mineral touch, perfect with fondue and raclette. Ampler Altesse (Roussette) (pear, honey, hazelnut). Fruity, peppery Mondeuse reds (cherry, violet, firm tannins), light Gamay and fine Pinot Noir.
The word of the wine: Ancestral method
A method of making certain sparkling wines such as blanquette de Limoux, sparkling gaillac or clairette de Die, which consists of a second fermentation in the bottle based on natural sugars and yeasts naturally brought by the grapes (unlike the méthode champenoise, which requires the addition of tirage liquor).
